Thanks so much for this recipe and for all the recipes on your site. :) Tried this one tonight and so far, I'm loving it! (well, I loved it before it went into the freezer, so I'm sure it will be amazing once it comes out) Just a side note for anybody out there who doesn't have fresh bananas, I ended up using 2 frozen bananas and the recipe still came out great! Had to "encourage" it a little more in my blender with a spatula (I used a Blendtec), but otherwise, it worked out well. I will have to make it again soon with fresh bananas (woe is me) to see if there's a big taste difference, but I loved the creamy banana filling that came out of my blender :)

Just made it for tomorrow! Can't wait ^_^ tastes a bit lemony, so I added 2 small bananas, though.
I didn't blend it in a mixer, I processed it in my new Magimix :)
Would that be ok if I use my Magimix for the chocolate cheesecake? My blender's not good at all.

Hi Linoya! Congrats on your new Magimix - I have never used one, but I googled it briefly and it looks like a food processor.

Definitely make the crust in your Magimix.

For the chesecake filling, I would prefer that it be made in a blender, as it will probably get smoother that way. However, if your blender is really dull and powerless, then you could try it in your Magimix.

OMG It's too delicious!! I had to hold myself from getting another slice lol the crust turned out to be like Toffee since the machine warmed the dates a little bit, but it give the crust a fantastic and a fun-to-eat texture :)
And it was fine with the Magimix, the cream turned out to be very creamy

As you indicated, ideally the coconut would be unsweetened and the cashews unsalted/unroasted.

However, life does happen :)

1. So... if you are using sweetened coconut, reduce the honey by half. No biggie.

2. Re: cashews, it is not ideal to use roasted cashews since they will alter the flavor. I don't recommend it. BUT if I can't stop you from using roasted/salted, you should probably reduce the salt in the filling by half as well.

Now that i have made this pie, I have to have one ready in the freezor at all times! We love it that much! I add one teaspoon of almond extract to the banana filling (which i do to a lot of recipes i guess). It is such a beautiful pie, cuts so nicely. I am not actually a fan of banana cream pie, but this version is amazing! Thanks!

Raw banana cream pie recipe

If you freeze a peeled banana on its own, it won’t go brown really. If you freeze it with the peel still on, it will go super brown and gross looking. (If freezing bananas, peel and then freeze)! If your question is about the pie itself, no it won’t go brown! :)

I know you said to use perfectly ripe bananas for the best banana cream pie effect. I currently only have frozen bananas on hand, however, they were perfectly ripe at the time they were frozen. Since the pie must be frozen anyway, will it change the texture at all if I use frozen bananas in this recipe instead of fresh?

Lindsey, I just recalled this comment made by someone who has done this: "Just a side note for anybody out there who doesn't have fresh bananas, I ended up using 2 frozen bananas and the recipe still came out great!
